The Holden Roundup

BULLOCK EVALUATION: The Board of Selectmen were scheduled to evaluate Town Manager Brian Bullock at its Tuesday night meeting, after The Landmark went to press. The manager’s evaluation results will be featured in next week’s Landmark.

WILL SEE CHARGES: An eighth grade male student at Mountview Middle School will be charged with possession of a dangerous weapon following an incident at the school on Friday, February 10, according to Holden Police Sgt. David Armstrong. Paperwork was to be filed this past Tuesday, and the student was expected to be summonsed into Worcester Juvenile Court.

According to police, a parent informed the school that the student was allegedly carrying the spring-loaded, double-edge knife. Principal John Sullivan questioned the student, who turned the knife over to him. According to Armstrong, such knives are illegal to possess, though not illegal to purchase, and can be bought at a variety of locations.

HIT AND RUN: A staff member at the Gale Free Library notified The Landmark that on Saturday, her 2000 green Subaru Impreza was struck on the front passenger side and rendered undriveable.

She’s hoping that anyone with any information or who knows something will step forward.

The staff member said she went out to her car to grab her lunch from her car parked in the parking lot behind Town Hall when she noticed that it was no longer facing straight ahead, at the 12 o’clock position, but in the 10 o’clock position.

The car was hit it so hard that the owner’s wet laundry sitting inside was strewn about.

“I realized someone had really hit it,” said the woman, who asked not to have her name published.

The car sustained heavy damage and needed to be towed.

If you know anything about this case, you’re asked to call the library at (508) 829-0228.
